The BasketCases don't normally make a habit of writing blog posts about press releases, but the one that Maryland issued yesterday rates a "Wow!" Here's the Link. And be sure you scroll down to see it all!

However, while we enjoyed taking a peek at the future, currently we're even more excited about the now. Tomorrow (Saturday) is the season-opener for the new young Terps. This year's team has some pretty exciting players of its own that next year's recruits will only help make stronger. All-American Dara Taylor, All-Met Tianna Hawkins, French National Team star Diandra T, and, of course, 2009 ACC Rookie-of-the-Year Lynetta Kizer; plus, Kim, Anjale and all the rest.

The Terps may be unranked now, but the BCs aren't convinced they'll stay that way. What this year's team doesn't have starting out is much experience or much time playing together. But make no mistake . . . this team has TALENT! Add great coaching to that talent and anything is possible. See for yourself as the season evolves. Start by heading on over to Comcast tomorrow at 7 PM (we'll be there), when the Terps host North Carolina Central. The regular season begins! Go Terps!
